Earthquake strikes Tokyo as it braces for worst storm in decades 02:08. As people in Japan braced for a powerful typhoon Friday night, they looked up to see a strange phenomenon: a bright purple sky.

Currently the typhoon has maximum sustained wind speeds of around 120 miles per hour, equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

The sky in Japan turned purple hours before the wrath of Super Typhoon Hagibis. A beautiful scene, indeed. But beneath it lies a big catastrophe. Pray for Japan, everyone.
